DIY Wedding
Makeup? Anyone?

I have been thinking about it for a long time and I think I am going to be doing my own makeup. After all, NO one knows my face better than I do, right?

I am very comfortable putting on makeup. I have been wearing makeup every single day since I was 12 years old. I know a ton about makeup and have a decent amount of knowledge regarding bridal makeup specifically.

Although with that said, I can't help but be nervous!

What mainly brought me to this decision is that since we're having a destination wedding and we're going down to Vegas only a few short days before the wedding I won't really have time for makeup trials! I would ultimately be putting my trust into a stranger and I am not down with that.

My biggest concern is my skin. For the last few months I have been very broken out. I have been trying so many things to fix it but it's only slightly helped. Luckily I have several months to hopefully clear it up and if not I may go to a salon to have some sort of procedure done. As most girls know, skin is the MOST important thing!

I am leaning towards doing my own make up also, mainly because I don't want to be running around from place to place the day of the wedding. Our wedding and reception are in two different towns, and I have to decorate them both the day of! I'm a little nervous about it also because they say you should wear heavier makeup for pictures, and I am used to wearing just a little every day. Good luck with yours!

I agree. We plan on getting married in Hawaii, just the two of us and to save money, I will most likely be doint my own makeup. That way you know how you like it, simple/dramatic/natural, whatever, it's up to you. I am also thinking about doing my own hair as well, maybe doing some simple curls, it will be a beach wedding after all so I think it would be pretty to do something simple, yet pretty.

I did my own makeup for two reasons mainly.  1) To save about $150 on something I was able to do myself; and 2) I was afraid whoever did it would get too much makeup on me & I'd look like a clown.  Good luck!

I'm leaning toward the same - we don't have very many make up artists in my area so I can't even opt to have airbrushing done. I"ve even considered getting my own airbrush kit to practice with... so confusing!
